Experiencing Interruptions?

Almost

With doubt creeping in on the morning of his wedding, Cedric escapes to a familiar place, bringing back fond memories of the time when he first fell in love.

As he takes a trip down memory lane, Cedric's psyche flips, and his heart is torn in two: the past, lingering on the edge of his mind; and the present, awaiting a decision that must be made.

It will be here that Cedric, separate yet whole, must decide on how his future is shaped.
